Butterfly and hummingbird planter

Here is my planter, Angel. Just for you to see what I have in it.... couldn't find all my tags though I thought I saved them we must have gotten a clean up streak and threw them away... darn. I got all my plants at Steins. The center one is Penta and I put in 2 as I know from experience the humming birds like them, then I have that yellow flower Janice plants but I forgot the name and then the Salvia that P Allen Smith says to put in and some Stock... white and red and assorted flowers that apeal to me and to heck with the birds and the bees, LOL   I also found some Zenias and Asters and put them in a planter to see how that would work.... Probably not but I had to see ... still have some to put in the ground but this humidity is not good for me, hope I adjust to it soon. Always takes me awhile to adjust to a new season, wonder why? Feet swell and headaches.... not fair to finally get nice weather and have to wait to adjust. My body is so tempermental ~  LOl.... we have a whistle blowing now and its only 10 on Wed so that must be a storm warning..... so gotta go.
hope you all are having a nice day and no storm warnings, Sandra

VERY beautiful.  The neighbors always love my planters that I do but I think yours is much prettier.

The planter is beautiful.  My feet are swelling too !  I have a summer set of shoes just for swollen feet.  Ever since I was young it happens every year.  The humidity does make a difference.   Hope your storms don't come our way...on the weather this morning they said we have a chance of thunderstorms for the next 7 days.  We're in a bermuda high???  Take good care!  'On Ya'  - ma

I was hoping you would put a picture on; yours is totally different than mine and much more colorful.  Maybe we'll actually be able to get a picture with a hummer or butterfly on a flower!  

I can't believe this weather.  The storm started around 6:00, and we're still getting a little thunder at 9:30!  We have over an inch of rain in the gauge, which should work out good because Tom and the kids planted their garden yesterday.
Probably won't help the swollen feet tho.
